HO^'.  B.  A.  LIVINGSTON'S  ISLAND. 


A  SUMMER  PARADISE, 

THE   THOUSAND    ISLANDS. 


ATURE  nowhere  presents  more  alluring  charms 
than  in  that  labyrinth  of  land  and  water  known 
as  The  Thousand  Islands  of  the  St.  Lawrence.  In  the  old 
Indian  days  this  beautiful  extent  of  the  river  was  called 
Manatoana,  or  Garden  of  the  Great  Spirit,  "and  well  might 
the  islands,  when  covered  with  thick  forests,  the  deer  swim- 
mimg  from  wooded  isle  to  wooded  isle,  and  earh  little  lily- 
padded  bay  nestling  in  among  the  hUls  and  bluffs  of  the 
islands,  and  teeming  with  waterfowl,  seem  to  the  Indian,  in 
his  half  poetic  mood,  like  some  beautiful  region  dedicated 
to  his  Supreme  Deity." 

HISTORICAL. 

This  region  has  a  history  full  of  romantic  interest,  as 
any  one  can  imagine  when  he  remember.';  that  it  has  four 
times  been  the  border  land  I  etween  contending  nations — 
first,  between  the  two  great  Indian  races,  the  Algonquins 
and  tlie  Iroquois  ;  next,  between  the  French  and  the  Eng- 
lish, and  twice  between  the  English  and  Americans.  But 
our  space  is  too  limited  for  more  than  a  few  items. 

The  St.  Lawrence  was  discovered  by  Jacciues  Cartier,  a 
good  Catholic,  on  St.  Lawrence's  day,  in  1535  ;  hence  the 
name.  Lort  Carleton,  the  ruins  of  which  are  seen  upon  the 
upper  end  of  Carleton  Island,  just  below  Cape  Vincent, 
was  built  in  the  beginning  of  the  the  Revolutionary  war,  by 

the    British    commander. 


Gen.  Carleton.  It  was  the 
principal  military  station 
above  Montreal,  and  re- 
mained in  the  possession 
of  the  British  until  the 
beginning  of  the  war  of 
1812.  The  boundary  line 
between  Canada  and  the 
United  States,  which  runs

THE  TIIOLSAND    ISLANDS. 


through  these  islands,  was  not  definitely  settled  until  1822.     'J'he  first  steamboat  on  the 
St.  Lawrence  was  the  Oneida,  in  181 7.     It  caused  great  excitem(;nt  along  the  shores. 

The  Patriot  war,  a  Canadian  outbreak,  which  led  to  exciting  military  adventures  on 
the  St.  Lawrence,  occurred  in  1837  to  1839.  During  this  war,  the  British  steamer.  Sir 
Robert  Peel,  was  fired  and  burned  on  the  south  side  of  Wells  Island,  on  the  night  of 
May  20th,  1838,  and  the  "  P.attle  of  the  Windmill  "  occurred  near  Prescott  in  November 
of  the  same  year,  a  memorable  battle  to  the  elder  Crossmon,  who  was  taken  prisoner 
during  the  engagement,  tried,  and  sentenced  to  be  shot.  Owing  to  his  extreme  youth,  a 
respite  was  obtained,  and  he  was  afterwards  ransomed,  thus  barely  escajjing  with  his  life. 

GEOLOGICAL. 

The   geological    formation    of    the    Thousand 
Islands   is   mostly   gneiss  rock  of  the    Laurentian 
period.    The  rock  is  compc^sed  largely  of  a  reddish 
;ii^    feldspar,  with  mixtures  of  cpiartz  and  hornblende, 
■'S^-x  und  a  little  magnetic  iron  ore.     There  are  also  oc- 
^i^^_j  casionally  thin  veins  of  trap  and  greenstone,  and 
'■,£^■£2  '"    places  a  variety  of    crystalline   mineral  forms. 
-^JL  Potsdam   sandst(>ne   occurs   among  the  islands  in 
thick  masses,  rismg  sometimes  into  high  cliffs.     He- 
1^!'***^  fore  reaching  Ikockville  from  above,  and  for  a  long 
^^  distance   below,   a   calciferous   saniistone  and  the 
THE  WINDMILL.  oUlcr  limcstoues  continue  the  only  rock,  and   in 

these  are  found  the  organic  remains  of  lower  forms  of  animal  and  vegetable  life.

DESCRIPTLONS  OF  THE  ISLANDS  BY  DIFFERENT   WRITERS. 

'J'he  first  mention  of  the  Thousand  Islands  was  by  Samuel  Champlain,  who  visited 
Lake  Ontario  and  the  Upper  St.  Lawrence  in  16 15.  In  his  meagre  descriptions  he 
mention:  some  beautiful  and  very  large  islands  at  the  beginning  of  the  St.  Lawrence. 
It  is  supposed  that  some  French  explorers,  who  went  up  the  river  about  1650,  gave  the 
region  its  present  name,  '^^  Milles  Isles,"  or  Thousand  Islands.  In  the  papers  relating 
to  De  Courcelle's  and  De  Tracy's  expeditions  against  the  Indians,  in  1666,  the  islands 
are  complained  of  as  "  obstructing  navigation  and  mystifying  the  most  experienced 
Iroquois  pilots." 

In  the  year  1820,  a  Capt.  Ponchot  described  the  region  somewhat  minutely  in  his 
journal,  which  was  afterwards  published  in  Switzerland,  and  there  have  been  frequent 
allusions  to  and  descriptions  of  it  written  and  published  from  that  time  to  this.  The 
picturesque  scenery  of  this  spot  also  seems  to  have  made  a  lasting  impression  upon 
French  artists,  as  one  of  the  first  paintings  which  greet  the  eye  of  an  American  on 
entering  the  Picture  Gallery  at  Versailles  presents  a  view  of  these  attractive  wilds.

ithe  great  Irish  poet,  Thomas  Moore,  commencing  : 

•' Fiiintly  a.s  tdlls  tlic  evening  chime, 

Our  Vdici's  keep  ti.iie  imil  our  oui's  koi'p  tiiiic," 

was  written  in  1804,  it  is  said,  on  Hart's  Island,  opposite  The  Crossmon.     During  their 

passage  down  the  river,  James  Kennimore  Cooper  and   \\'ashington   Irving  visited  the 

iii'l'housand   Islands,  and  were  fascinated 


i^hy  them.    Cooper  makes  them  the  scenes 

|<)f  some  of  the  most  interesting  incidents 

|<)f   "The   Pathfinder,"   from   which   we 

■fcopy  the  following  description  : 

¥■ 

I       "I5y  sunset  agam  the  cutter  was  up 

iwith  the  first  of  the  islanrls  that  lie  in 

ithe  outlet  of  tiie  lake,  and   ere   it   was 

if 

]|dark  she  was  running  through  the  nar- 

frow  channels,  on  her  way  to  the  long- 

i^ought  .station.*  .\t  y  o'clock,  however, 

|C'ap  insisted  that  they  should  anchor,  as 

Ihe  maze  of  islands  became  .so  compli- 
,f:ated    and    ob.scure    that  he   feared,  at 

"ivery    opening,    the    party    would    find 

[hemselves  under  the  guns  of  a  I'leiich 

fort.       *       *        *        'i"!^^.  iv^i;,m]^  \vere 

po  numerous  and  small  as  to  bafile  calculation,  though  occasionally  one  of  a  larger  size 
^han  common  was  passed.  Jasper  had  (juitted  what  might  have  been  termed  the  main 
jpihannel,  and  was  wending  his  way,  with  a  gooil  stiff  breeze  anel  a  favorable  current, 
through  passes  that  were  sometimes  so  narrow  that  there  appeared  to  be  barely  room 
Sufficient  for  the  Scud's  spars  to  clear  the  trees  ;  at  other  moments  he  shot  across  little 
pays,  and  buried  the  cutter  again  amid  rocks,  forest  and  bushes.  The  water  was  so 
Iransparent  that  there  was  no  occasion  for  the  lead,  and,  being  of  very  equal  depth, 
flttle  risk  was  actually  run." 

I;  Farther  on  he  describes  the  island  where  "  The  Pathfinder  "  and  his  party  secreted 
Hiem.selves,  which  is  so  good  of  manv  others  that  we  insert  it  here  : 

I 

I      "  Lying  in  the  midst  of  twenty  others,  it  was  not  an  easy  matter  to  find  it,  since 

poats  might  pass  quite  near,  and,  by  the  glimpses  caught  through  the  openings,  this 

jprticular  island  would  be   taken   for  a  part  of  some  other.      Indeed,  the   channels 

Ji|stween  the  islands  that  lay  around  the  one  we  have  been  describing  were  so  narrow

that  it  was  difficult  to  say  whicli  portions  of  tlie  land  were  connected  or  which  separ- 
ated, even  as  one  stood  in  their  centre,  with  the  express  desire  of  ascertaining  the  truth. 
The  little  bay,  in  particular,  that  Jasper  used  as  a  harbor,  was  so  embowered  with 
bushes  and  shut  in  with  islands  that,  the  sails  of  the  cutter  being  lowered,  her  own  peo- 
ple, on  one  occasion,  had  searched 
for  hours  before  they  could  find  the 
Scud,  on  their  return  from  a  short 
excursion  among  the  adjacent  chan- 
nels in  (luest  of  fish."

the  constant  flutter  and  bustle  of  the

have  superseded  her.     Hut  although 
Alexandria  Hay  is  in  the  continual 
tumult  of   life,    for  some  fortunate 
and    almost    unaccountable   reason, 
the  Thousand  Islands  are  not  in  the 
least  tinctured  with  the  hlase  air  of 
an  ordinary  watering-place,  nor  are 
they  likely  to  become  so.    There  are 
hundreds,  thousands  of  places,  rug- 
ged and  solitary,  among  which  a  boat 
can    glide,    while    its   occupant   lies 
gloriously   indolent,    doing  nothing 
but  reveling  in  the  realization  of  life; 
little  bays,  almost  land-locked,  where 
the  resinous  odors  of  hemlock  and 
.SAKE  POINT.  pine  fill  the  nostrils,  and  the  whispers 

of  nature's  unseen  life  seem  but  to  make  the  solitude  more  perceptible.  Sometimes 
the  vociferous  cawing  of  crows  soun  's  through  the  hollow  woods,  or  a  solitary  eagle 
lifts  from  his  perch  on  the  top  of  a  stark  and  dead  pine,  and  sails  majestically  across 
the  blue  arch  of  the  sky.     Such  scenes  occur  on  -i  beautiful  sheet  of  water  called  Lake

During  the  past  few  years,  wherein  the  Thousand  Islands  have  suddenly  become  one 
^of  the  leading  resorts  for  summer  recreation,they  have  been  prominent  in  the  current  litera- 
ture and  pictorial  illustrations  of  the  country.  Newspapers  and  magazines  have  made  them 
ithe  subject  of  many  long  and  interesting  articles  ;  reporters,  essayists,  romancers,  poets 
land  humorists  have  .seemed  to  vie  with  each  other  in  calling  the  attention  of  the  public  to 
Sthis  place  of  enchantment;  and  the  consecpience  is,  that  a  vast  and  annually  swelling  tide

of  by  l.ir  the  most  l)eautifnl  and  wonderful  section  of 
the  river.  'I'hey  are  nearly  all  small,  usually  varying 
in  size  from  a  few  scpiare  yards  of  surface  to  several 
acres.  Many  of  them  are  separated  only  by  narrow 
channels,  which  are  generally  deep,  but  sometimes 
shallow.  (Juiet  and  invitinjj  little  bays  are  found 
here  and  there.  All  the  islands  are  thickly  .studded 
with  trees  of  rich  foliage,  but  generally  of  moderate 
or  stunted  growth,  many  of  which  stand  close  to  the 
water's  edge,  and  afford  cooling  shade  to  passing 
boatmen.  In  the  bays  and  by  the  sides  of  the  islands 
is  excellent  fishing,  bass  and  pickerel  being  the  prin- 
I'lpal  fish,  but  the  famous  muscalonge  is  sufficiently  numerous  to  warrant  the  fisherman 
in  expecting  an  electric  bite  fr(>m  him  at  any  moment,  which  will  put  his  strength  and 
skill  to  their  utmost  test.

Not  until    iSyj  was  the  attention  of  the  general  public  turned  to  the  Thousand 
Islands  as  a  "  watering-plac-e,"  or  a  resort  for  pleasure-seekers  and   invalids,  although 

some  discerning  ones  iuid 
been  in  the  habit  of  spend- 
ing a  few  summer  days  or 
weeks  there  for  more  than 
a  (juarter  of  a  century  pre- 
vious. There  (lov.  Seward 
shook  hands  across  the  par- 
ty chasrn  with  Silas  Wright, 
and  caught  bass  and  mus- 
calonge  with  him  from  the 
same  boat,  exchanging  prac- 
tical quotations  and  cheer- 
ful jokes  instead  of  political 
opinions  and  arguments. 
There  Rev.  Dr.  (leo.  Heth- 
une  dropped  theology,  and 
(len.  Dick  Taylor  forgot 
military  tactics,  and  float- 
ed sociably  together  down 
among  the  islands.  There 
the  wily  Martin  Van  Buren  and  his  witty  son  John,  Frank  Blair,  and  other  politicians  of 
the  old  school  found  respite  from  the  affairs  of  the  State  and  partisan  squabbles,  and 
were  soothed  and  softened  by  the  influences  of  nature.  And  when  these  intellectual 
giants  returned  from  thtir  fishing  expeditions  they  found  rare  good  cheer  and  comfort 
in  the  unpretentious  old  Crossmon  House  at  the  Bay,  where  the  elder  Crossmon  was 
then  known  as  the  prince  of  country  landlords,  and  in  such  goodly  company  learned 
thoroughly  the  fine  art  of  managing  and  entertaining  guests.

In    the    summer   of    i.Sja,   two   or   three   things   occurred    opportunely   to   draw 

I  immediate   attention    to    the   river   attractions.      (leorge   W.    Pullman,   the   palace-car 

king,    had    become    enamored    with    the    place,    purchased    a   beautiful    island    nearly 

opposite  the  Hay,  and  erected  thereon  suitable  buildings  for  a  summer  residence.     By 

liis    invitation,    in    tSyj,    (leneral  Cirant   and  family  and  a  pat-ty  of  friends  went  to 

Pullman's  Island, 
as  his  guests,  and 
remained  there 
eight  days.  The 
same  season  a 
large  party  of 
New  York  and 
Southern  editors 
made  an  excur- 
sion to  the  isl- 
ands, and  dined 
a/  fresco  on  the 
same  island,  the 
viands  being  fur- 
nished from  the 
cuisine  of  the 
Crossmon  House. 
These  two  events 
brought  the 
islands  to  the  no- 
tice of  the  peo- 
ple in  all  parts  of 
the  country. 

So,  when  the  big  new  hotels  were 
opened  in  the  summer  oi  1873,  the 
people  at  once  began  to  hasten  to 
them,  and  since  then  they  have  con- 
tinued to  come  every  year  in  large 
numbers. 

Among  the  distinguished  visitors 
to  the  islands,  two  years  ago  last 
summer,  were  President  Cleveland 
and  i)arty.     Although  their  stay  was 

of  short  duration,  they  were  very  much  taken   up  with  the  beautiful  scenery  and  the 

numerous  islands.

Several  of  tiiese  enjoyable  affairs  come  off  every  pleasant  day.  A  party  of  from  lo 
to  25  ladies  and  jrentlemen  set  off  in  a  steam  yacht  for  some  distant  fishing-j;round,  takinji 


liberal  supplies  from  the  hotel,  and  about  half  as  many  oarsmen  as  excursionists 


Each 


oarsman  takes  his  own 
skiff  and  fishinji  tackle. 
'I'he  boats  beinjjf  towed 
in  single  file  behind  the 
yacht  present  the  ajipear- 
ance  of  some  strange  ma- 
rine animal,  with  a  very 
long  tail.  An  island  is  se- 
lected as  the  base  of  oj^er- 
ations,  and  iiere  the  yacht 
is  moored  to  the  shore, 
and  the  party  separate, 
each  skiff,  with  its  two  or 
three  occupants,  taking  a 
different  direction,  with 
the  understanding  to  meet 
again  at  that  island  for 
dinner.  .\t  the  appointed 
hou.-  the  boats  return,  and 
the  oarsmen,  nearly  all  of 
whom  are  good  cooks,  set 
at  work  preparing  dinner. 
A  fireplace  is  (juickly  im- 
provised out  of  rocks,  and 
the  savory  odors  of  a  hot 
dinner  soon  mingle  witli 
the  piney  odors  of  the 
woods.  'I'he  yacht  carries 
boards  for  tables,  and  the 
island  supplies  rocks  to  support  them.  The  afternoon  is  spent  in  rambles  on  the  adja- 
cent islands,  or  in  story-telling  under  some  big  tree,  while  two  or  three  drowsy  gentle- 
men go  off  to  sleep  under  the  influence  of  the  fresh  air  and  a  hearty  dinner.  ^  Fre-

The  riiousaiul  Island  Park  of  tlie  Methodists  is  on  the  upper  end  of  Wells  Island, 
two  miles  below  Round  Island.  It  was  started  in  1873,  and  to  its  natural  beauties  have 
been  added  delightful  drives  and  walks,  a  village  of  cottages,  bath-houses,  and  bui'd- 
ings  for  religions  jnirposes  and  the  accommodation  of  visitors.  Here  arc  held  Sunday 
school,  temperance  and  educational  conventions  every  season. 


Westminster  Park  is  at  the  foot  of  Wells  Island,  about  a 
mile  and  a  half  from  the  Bay.  It  was  purchased  in  1874  by 
a  i'resbyierian  stock  company,  and  has  been  rapidly  improved, 
having  now  several  miles  of  drives  and  some  fine  buildings. 

Kdgewood  Park,  on  the  mainland  opposite  the  May,  is 
owned  by  the  Edgewood  Park  Association,  of  Cleveland,  O. 
This  Association  is  composed  of  gentlemen  of  means,  who, 
with  their  families,  wish  to  spend  a  few  weeks  at  the  islands 
each  year.  The  Park  comprises  thirty  acres  of  wooded  land. 
A  club-house  and  some  cottages  have  already  been  erected  for 
the  comfort  and  convenience  of  the  club,  and  a  large  sum  of 
money  e.vpended  in  beautifying  the  Park. 

These  Parks  are  connected  with  each  other  and  the  Bay 
many  times  daily  by  steamers,  which  afford  delightful  little 
trips. 

Although  the  Thousand  Islands  are  now  dotted  with  cot- 
tages, and  thronged  here  and  there  with  people,  their  original 
wild  beauty  and  enticements  remain — the  trees  and  rocks  ;  the 
majestic  flow  of  crystal  pure 
waters;  the  yet  purer  air, 
with  its  splendid  Unuc  and 
healing  properties;  the  ever- 
varying  vit'ws;  the  oppor- 
tunities for  boating,  fishing, 
hunting,  bathing,  etc.  —  all 
are  here,  and  man  has  addeil 
to  them  yet  more. 


Extensive  improvements  are  constantly  being 
added,  and  much  pride  is  taken  by  owners  of  j)ro- 
pt  ty  on  the  river  in  beautifying  their  cottages  and 
grounds.

THE   CAPES. 

Many  small  capes,  which  scallop  the  main  shores  of  the  river,  afford  beautiful 
huildinjr  sites,  and  some  of  them  are  adorned  by  handsome  c(jttat^es.  'I'he  demand  for 
these  capes  has  increased  of  late,  and  it  is  probable  that  before  many  years  the  shores 
for  a  loni;-  distance  each  way  from  the  Bay,  as  well  as  the  islands,  will  be  thickly  stud- 
ded with  cottajj^es,  owned  by  health  aiul  pleasure  seekers  from  .ibroatl. 

I'erha]is  the  most  desirable  point  on  the  river  was  purchased  by  Dr.  J.  (1.  Holland, 
the  celebrated  author,  and  late  editor  of  The  Century.  It  is  at  the  mouth  of  the 
lovely  little  bay  overlooked  by  I'he  (!rossmon,  and  only  a  few  rods  from  it  across 
the  water.      Dr.  Holland  has  exix-niled    many  thousands    of  dollars  in  erecting  here  a

luxurious  cottage  and  improving  the  grounds.  The  point  is  named  "  Bonnie  Castle," 
from  one  of  Dr.  Holland's  novels.  The  family  are  in  the  habit  of  spending  three  to 
four  months  of  the  year  on  this  island,  and  here  i)r.  Holland  tlid  much  of  his  literary 
work.

ISLAND   ROYAL. 


PARTICULAR    ISLANDS. 

In  1823  all  the  islands  on  the  American 
side,  between  (Jgdensburg  on  the  St.  Law- 
rence and  (Irindstone  Island  in  Lake 
Ontario,  were  granted  to  Klisha  Camp,  ot 
Sackets  Harbor,  and  all  titles  within  these 
limits  must  be  traced  Xo  this  proprietor. 

Island  Royal,  owned  by  Mr.  Royal  E.  Deaneof  New  York, 
is  situated  opposite  Point  Vivian,  two  miles  from  Alexandria 
»  Bay,  and  (juite  near  Wells  Island.     The  veranda  of  the  cot- 

tage is  twenty  feet  above  the  water,  and  from  this  elevation  a 
unsvpassed  upon  the    hannel  may  be  enjoyed.     Many  of  the  river 
captains  pass  within  hailing  distance  of  this  beautiful  spot.    Mr.  Deane 
and  family  for  many  years  have  been  summer  residents  upon  the  river. 

Just  above  the  village,  in  the  American  channel,  is  Warner  Island,  owned  by  H.  H. 
■Warner,  of  Rochester,  who  is  famous  for  the  magnitude,  boldness  and  success  of  his 
business  operations.  The  line  steamers  pass  within  a  few  feet  of  his  cottage.  Mr- 
Warner  and  family  are  in  the  habit  of  remaining  here  two  or  three  months  of  the  year, 
and  their  gracious  hospitalities  have  won  them  hosts  of  friends  among  the  frequenters 
of  the  Thousand  Islands.

Across  the  channel,  on  PiiUman's  Island,  already  referred  to,  stands  a  magnificent 
castle,  built  of  rongh,  unhewn  stone,  designed  after  a  castle  on  the  Rhine,  and  very 
appropriately  called  "Castle  Rest."  It  stands  on  the  site  of  the  earlier  cottage,  where 
President  Grant  was  entertained.

The  buildings  and  grounds  are  lighted  by  electricity,  and  from  the  lofty  tower  a 
fine  view  of  the  surrouiuling  islands  can  be  obtained,  'i'his  beautiful  island,  with  its 
summer  palace,  was  presented  by  .\[r,  I'ullmaii  to  his  mother  on  her  eightieth  birthday. 

Near  by  is  Nobby,  whicii,  owing  to  its  jxisilion  and  natural  lormation,  is  one  of  the 
most  desirable  among  the  islands.  The  owner.  H.  R.  Heath,  of  New  York,  has  devoted 
much  time  and  capital  in  improvements,  both  on  Nobby  and  the  famous  Uevil'  s  Oven 
which  is  also  in  his  possession. 


A   short   distance   down  the  river,  and  opposite  Nobby,  is  Friendly  Island,  owned 
[by  Mr.  ¥,.  W.  Dewey,  of  New  N'ork.      'The  natural  beauty  and  location  of  the  island, 
combined  with  the  elegance  and  taste  of  the  house  and  surroundings,  make  this  one  of 
the  most  charming  and  attractive  of  the  summer  homes

St.  Elmo,  in  the  same  cluster  with  Nobby  and  l-'riendly,  is  owned  by  Mr.  Nathaniel 
W.  Hunt,  of  Brooklyn.  The  cottage  is  a  prominent  one.  and  the  design  of  the  archi- 
tect who  has  built  most  of  the  finest  cottages  on  the  river. 

Opposite  The  Crossmon  is  Isle  Imperial,  in  some  respects  the  most  remarkable  of 
the  inhabited  islaiuls.  When  purchaseil,  in  18S2,  it  consisted  of  a  mere  rock,  a  few 
square  yards  in  extent,  but  by  piering  and  i\  ling  in  the  owner  has  increased  the  size  to 
half  an  acre,  and  thus  obtained  an  island  in  one  of  the  most  desirable  locations  on  the 
river.     It  is  now  owned  by  Mr.  (lilbert  S.  Rafferty,  of  I'ittsburg,  I'a. 

Near  bv  is  Hart's  Island,  already  mentioned. 


Plantagenet  Island  was  purchased  by  Judge  Charles  Donohue,  of  New  York,  am! 
re-christened  "St.  John."  He  has  built  a  handsome  cottage  upon  it,  and  is  constantly 
making  improvements.

CENTENNIAL    HALL, 

ALKXAXDIUA    J'.AY,    N.    Y. 

One  of  the  most  attractive  features  at  Alexandria  Bay  is  C'entennial  Hall.  It  is  n 
magnificent  structure,  in  the  style  of  a  Swiss  cottage,  60x14  ft;et  in  size,  entirely  sur- 
rounded by  a  broad  veranda  8^  feet  wide,  making  the  entire  dimensions  77x31  feet, 
thus  affording  a  delightful,  uninterrupted  promenade  of  216  feet. 

The  entire  finishing  and  furnishing  is  of  the  richest  description.  Its  sides  are  made 
up  of  windows,  from  each  of  which  is  a  fine  view.  At  each  end  are  windows  of  stained 
glass.  Flagstaffs  surmount  the  edifice,  bearing  the  respective  banners  of  the  United 
States  and  England.  Well,  you  ask,  what  is  all  this  for  ?  Just  what  we  are  coming  at- 
Here  will  be  kept

madam.  Think  of  an  iced  lemonade  in  this  delightful  spot  I  Perhaps  it  is  some  of 
those  fresh,  tem|)ting  oranges,  pineapples,  peaches  or  bananas  that  you  prefer.  If  it  be 
anything  in  the  line  of  fruits,  or  the  most  tempting  of  confectionery,  they  are  here.

a  word,  Centennial  Hall  is  iiii  Gra/u/c  Place  dii  Resort.      Do  not  fail  to  visit  it.
